| 20100120397 | CREATION AND SIGNALLING OF UE LISTS TO SUPPORT FREQUENCY SELECTIVE REPEATER OPERATION - A method of supporting frequency-selective repeaters (eNodeRs) in a wireless telecommunication system. A base station (eNodeB) classifies User Equipments (UEs) into two categories or lists of users: a white list containing UEs that may need the assistance of repeaters, and a black list containing UEs that do not need repeater assistance. The eNodeB transmits one of these two lists to the eNodeRs. The eNodeRs do not amplify resource blocks (RBs) scheduled for black list UEs. Each repeater may decide on its own whether to amplify signals for a non-black list UE by measuring signals from the UE and comparing them with predefined criteria. | 05-13-2010 |
| 20100238854 | SIGNALING MECHANISMS FOR NETWORK-RELAY INTERFACE WITH REDUCED OVERHEAD - Relay reporting in a wireless network is implemented by efficiently allocating radio resources based on the nature or criticality of the type of relay report. According to an embodiment, a method of communicating with a relay located in a wireless network includes instructing the relay when to transmit reports based on a mapping of different categories of relay reports to one or more different reporting schemes. Reports are received from the relay based on the relay report category and the corresponding reporting scheme. According to another embodiment, a method of reporting information from a relay to a network node of a wireless network includes generating different categories of reports at the relay for transmission to the network node. A reporting scheme associated with each report category is identified and each report is transmitted to the network node in accordance with the reporting scheme identified for the corresponding report category. | 09-23-2010 |
| 20100329190 | Communication Unit and a Method in a Wireless Communication Network - A communication unit for use in a wireless communication system in which a transmitting unit is arranged for wireless communication with at least one receiving unit, said network further comprising at least a first and a second relay node arranged to receive a signal from the transmitting unit and forward it to the receiving unit, said node being characterized in that it comprises a processor arranged to perform the following steps: identifying at least a first and a second communication path between the transmitting unit and the receiving unit, at least one of said paths involving the first or the second relay node, calculating a first and a second capacity of at least one hop in the first and second communication path, respectively communicating information related to the first and second capacity to at least one other communication node in the wireless network. | 12-30-2010 |
| 20110064006 | FILTER OR AMPLIFIER ADAPTATION BY AN INTERMEDIATE DEVICE IN A MULTI-HOP SYSTEM - A method is performed by an intermediate device in a wireless network. The method includes estimating a first hop channel state based on a transmission originating from a first device. The method further includes estimating an end-to-end signal-to-noise ratio base on a transmission associated with a second device. The method also includes adapting a filter or an amplifier of the intermediate device based on the first hop channel state and the end-to-end signal-to-noise ratio. | 03-17-2011 |
| 20110105170 | Grouping User Terminals into Different Coordination Scheme Groups - In a radio network in which multiple base stations can communicate with multiple user terminals in a coordinated way, user terminals may be grouped into groups, each group representing a coordination scheme to be used for user terminals in the group. The groups may be chosen, for example, according to path loss or QoS requirements Preferably there are three groups requiring no coordination, multiuser coherent coordination and single user coherent coordination respectively. Grouping may be done dynamically according to one or more of the following factors: —the terminal's signalling overhead —the affordable processing complexity —the traffic load —the radio conditions. The grouping unit may be placed in one or more base stations or in any other suitable unit in the network. | 05-05-2011 |
| 20110269395 | Systems and Method for Canceling Feedback Interference - The present application discloses systems and methods for reducing output-to-input feedback signal interference caused by a forwarding node that is configured to forward information received from a transmitter. In some embodiments, this output-to-input feedback signal interference is compensated for by the transmitter. For example, the transmitter is configured such that the signal that is transmitted by transmitter to the forwarding node includes both (1) a primary signal or ‘desired’ signal (e.g., the signal that is intended for a receiving device) and (2) a filtered version of the primary signal. The filter that produces the filtered version of the primary signal is configured (e.g., the filter's filter weights are adapted) such that the filtered version of the primary signal cancels or reduces the undesired output-to-input feedback signal. | 11-03-2011 |

| 20110292843 | Method and Arrangement in a Wireless Communication Network - Method and arrangement in a relay node, for selecting communication mode. The relay node is configured to communicate with a base station via a donor antenna over a first link and to communicate with a user equipment via a coverage antenna over a second link. The method comprises obtaining an isolation value, based on the radio wave isolation between the relay donor antenna and the relay coverage antenna. The obtained isolation value is compared with an isolation threshold level value. The relay node is configured to communicate in full duplex mode if the obtained isolation value exceeds the isolation threshold level value, otherwise in half duplex mode. Information concerning the configured duplex mode of the relay node is transmitted to the base station. | 12-01-2011 |
